Mrs. Rosenberg's Christmas
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Linda Kaufman
When Mrs. Rosenberg (Bubbe) takes a fall, it's Christmas in August! Raised by Orthodox Jewish parents and married to a Rabbi, Bubbe seems confused after her accident. When she moves into her daughter Eloise, son-in-law Arthur, and grandson Josh's home to recuperate, much more is "healed" than the bump on her head. The family and their Christian friend Linda explore the meaning and spirit of Christmas from a different viewpoint. Like a holiday gift, everything is wrapped and surrounded by the dynamics of faith, family and the love surrounding everyone involved.
